Crispy Chicken Caesar Sandwich Recipe


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup buttermilk (for marinade)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko preferred)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

  • Vegetable oil, for frying

  • 4 sandwich buns (brioche or Kaiser rolls work great)

  • 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded

  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing

  • 1/4 cup grated or shaved Parmesan cheese

  • Optional: sliced tomato or crispy bacon


Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to make thinner cutlets.

  2. Place chicken in a bowl with buttermilk, cover, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).

  3. In a shallow bowl, mix flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  4. Heat 1 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat.

  5. Remove chicken from marinade, dredge in flour mixture, pressing to coat evenly.

  6. Fry chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

  7. Toast sandwich buns if desired.

  8. Assemble sandwiches: spread Caesar dressing on the bottom bun, layer with shredded lettuce, crispy chicken, Parmesan, and any extras like tomato or bacon.

  9. Top with the bun and enjoy that crunchy, creamy goodness!
